about nicolina
Nicolina is a visual artist, designer, and accordion player. She lives in the colorful city of New Orleans.
Lately she has been working on a lifelong dream; creating a hidden garden called The Emerald Door.
The Emerald Door is a portal into an otherworldly, secret place, nestled in the heart of New Orleans’ Bywater neighborhood. It is a place for community, ceremony, music, art, workshops, creative exploration, planting, growing, dinner parties, and all the magic we can conjure up.
Past work includes public art, collaborative painting projects and interactive performance-spectacles.
Hearts of the World, her international art project, brings art to children who might not otherwise have the opportunity to express themselves creatively. She was an artist in residence for many years at the L.E.S Girls Club of Manhattan and the founder of the Free Art Society, an East Village based arts organization in New York City that explores the degree to which art in public spaces can transform the community that owns it.
